Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting Names New National Sales Director

Florida-based manufacturer Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting has appointed Michael Perez-Caromano as national sales director.

With more than  15 years of experience in business development and sales management, Perez-Caromano has a track record of driving consistent and profitable growth across the interior specification industry. Most recently in his role with wallcovering leader Phillip Jeffries, he led a team of high-performing sales executives across the central and eastern U.S. and Canada to double and triple digit growth. His tenure at Knoll Textiles solidified his expertise in luxury contract sales, and his leadership roles as showroom manager at Cinema Tech and Restoration Hardware, along with his experience as a multi-line representative for JNelson, provide him with a well-rounded perspective on the industry.

Locally, Perez-Caromano has been recognized by IIDA with its Industry Member of the Year Award of Merit and has served on the board of multiple industry organizations in both leadership and advisory positions.

“Born and raised near Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting’s state-of-the-art production facilities, this position feels like a true homecoming of sorts, and I’m excited to support the economic growth and development of the city that raised me,” states Perez-Caromano.

As national sales director, Perez-Caromano  will oversee and manage national trade accounts, implement relationship-driven sales strategies, and leverage his extensive network in the A&D community – particularly in hospitality – to create new opportunities for Fine Art. His leadership will play a key role in expanding the brand’s national presence through strategic partnerships and collaborations.

“Michael’s expertise in business development and relationship-driven sales strategy makes him an invaluable addition to our leadership team,” says René Quintana, principal at Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting. “His vision aligns with our ongoing commitment to our craft and innovation, and we are confident that his leadership will help propel our brand’s growth with new product launches and industry collaborations.”
